Magic Nights
a deep journey through the liminal space between the years
The 13 Magic Nights take us from the Old Year into the New
This series grows out of an ancient tradition that in Germany we call "Rauhnächte" (a term that does not really have an exact translation). Between December 24 and January 6 there are 13 nights that we consider a time between the years, where time stands still. In this time, we are connected to liminal space and can tap into other realms.
These nights are dark and were scary for our ancestors but also full of wonder and magic - that's why I call them the Magic Nights. It's a time when the weather is often cold, stormy, and rough (one translation for "rauh"). People would bring offerings, smudge/smoke their houses to expel bad spirits (another potential origin of the word), and tell fortunes for the coming year.

I have explored the magic nights in different ways for many years (I literally don't even remember when I started paying attention to them). I used to set intentions and make wishes for the coming year and then let them
The 5 planets and their retrograde movements
-
Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus (September 4th to December 30th) = we will re-evaluate our goals, consider if the things we are working towards are really aligned for us, and refine our path to be more sustainable in the future
-
Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (June 17th to November 4th) = we will gently review our life path, what brought us to the point where we are right now, what dreams we followed, and what old wounds still might need healing
-
Uranus Retrograde in Taurus (August 28th to January 26th 2024) = we will reflect on our values, our self-worth, and what we have to offer to the world
-
Neptune Retrograde in Pisces (June 30th to December 6th) = we will ponder the relationship we have with ourselves, diving into the deepest and darkest corners, and embrace all of who we are
-
Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn (started in Aquarius May 1st to October 10th) = we will focus on our personal shadow side, our personal power, goals, and how we sabotage ourselves
What we will do in this workshop?
The workshop will include a short introduction to each planet, their retrograde energies, and the Zodiac signs that they are traveling through at this moment. All of these energies can influence our inner state, and I find it important to pay attention to how each of them feels for us individually.
We will then create a drawing that combines the 5 planets and their retrograde themes. This will allow us to look at the whole picture. We will intuitively connect to these planetary energies with the help of the Neurographica method, and allow ourselves to be guided by our inner wisdom and subconscious knowing.
Materials:
You need a pen (I use drawing pens, markers, or Sharpies, and literally any pen works) and a piece of paper.
Also, we will be working with colors (I am using colored pencils, but other coloring materials will work as well).
In general, you can use your preferred art materials for this workshop.
What you need to participate?
For this workshop, it is helpful if you have some experience with the Neurographica Method, and are familiar with the basic elements of this method - especially the Neurographic Line and Rounding process. If you are completely new to Neurographica, please make sure to check out my introductory videos on YouTube (see video below).
